THE LONDON JOURNALS. D AMY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. JUNE 21, 1826. [THE TIMES.] The progress of the election at Coventry luo been such as could not lead to any different result from that which we have now to communicate—namely, the defeat ofthe popular can did-atett,•-ri et annie, by a banditti of hired ruffians, and the return of two members to Parliament who, according to all accounts, Were not cloven by a fair majority of voted. - We have never seen or heard of any thing more revolting than this election for Coven try. The procession of Lady - Godiva, exhibited by one of the shameless creatures- of the day for sixpence, is not more disgraceful to the delicacy of the heroine, or to that of the females who be hold it, than has the'reckt brutality of the Corporation-mob at Coventry been to the political character of that city. That the voters for particular candidattsa should have exclusive access to the • hustings—that the voters for those candidates whom the Corpora tion did not condescend to favOur should he treated with positive outrage, and be sent home bruised and mutilated under the noses of the magistrate*, without even the satisfaction of nlisteriug their names upon the poll-hooks,—that this should on the very first day of the election have proceeded eo far as that the popular candi dates could only bring up four or five votes in opptiqinn' to hundreds of their adversaries; and on the last day so far as to compel an Hon. Gentleman to terminate the election rather • than risk the personal safety of hie friends,---we do say again, that, making - all allowances for the occasion, such barbarism goes to the root of the Constitution--that it is a stigma not only on the honesty of our Magistrates, but upon the cwilimtion of England. We do sincerely trust Mr. Ellice rte armed with full evidence of the transactions which have been detailed; because, if so, a peti tion to . PneliaMent becomes on his part a step of imperious duty, and of infallible success; it being impossible that an election can stand, when actual demonstration can be adduced that force," not free-will, has determined it. With regatil to the question of who bus been guilty of inciting 'or screening such malpractices, - we take the liberty of assuming, that primp facie—if the accounts be true—the returning officer is to blame. This functionary has legal authority for preserving the order and' privileges of his own Court; but if lie he a partisan, clothed with power, he is no better than a public nuisance, and nn enemy et once to the Pediment awl the people. It will he seen by the report of the proceedings at Brentford which we publish, that in Middlesex, ua in other counties, our Tory cotemporaries have preyed but middling prophets. There is no contest for this inf. portant county. The old members have been returned unani mously, and with loud acclamation*. Neither of them being certainly a very eminent man, the anti-Ministerial spirit of the electors is thereby shown ..in a mintier the more conspicuous. Under the bead of " Berkshire" may be seen an account of what occurred at Abingdon on M,Mday• last, where the circumstance, almost novel in our times, of u Catholic gentlentan coming for ward to speak at a county election, will attract. the ettentionof our readers. We must add, however, that the novelty of Mr. Eystnn's address was not its only charm. The sentiments of the worthy gentleman were finch as would do honour to any cotn vitition : and we cannot help feeling an additional pang at the exclusion of so respectable a class of men from privileges which are often enjoyed by mean ones, whenever a Catholic of principle and talent takes the trouble to expatiate on his wrongs. [TIIR MORNING lIERAILD.] We are glad to .see-that.one of the parishes at the east-end of the town has at length been goaded into open warfare against the iniquitous system of jobbing and local taxation, arising out of the proeeedinga of its " Select Vestry," and that it has been already joined in its object by two parishes in Westminster, similarly circumstanced. The flame thus once kindled, we trust will spread ; and that the result will be in the first Session of the new Parliament, either a total overthrow of the system, or such a revision of it as will at leait take from these Dogberty Legislatures the power of self-election, and give to the rate-payers the power of controlling and impeding the raising and expenditure of public money. But the, truth iy, that the whole system is so rotten at the core, that we doubt whether it is capable of any amendment, aa4, like at house infected with the dry rot, the disease, we suspect, toi•rinly to he remedied by its being entirely pulled down and re built. No system has run tu riet 1;ke• this ; while, with a reckless disregard of pablie opinions, its profligacy has only increased as its enormity has latanma more known and exposed,. What we would stcommend to pedalos is, •a• joint co.operatiori on a subject of such vital interest' hi them ell. A Committee, farmed of one or two intelligent persoos from each parish, to meet and compare notes, may.bring together, by the meeting of Parliament, such a collection of flute, as can hardly fail to blow this nefarious system into the air. In the mean time, war having been declared, the parties will do well not to put.their adversaries before hand into possession of theireaSe. • This, howeVer, we ere sure of, that the result of a well-combined operation wilt be the amelioration of the condition of the poor, the improvement of every other de scription of parish concerns, and a diminution of expenditure, in ime parishes of at least ons 7 half, end to all a considerable saving. Cite improvement on this subject is quite obviowi,--44.: that instead of each parish being governed (aa is now the case through half the metropolis at least) by local Acts—of which in one parish there are four or five—and the law, therefore, different and un known on opnosite, sides of the same titreetall these toed Acts should be at once saespt away, as being, what they really are— but so many nuiaanefNiS' end the whole Metropolis, if not the whole Kingdom, placed undo . one general rule and regulation in such matters. We are aware that the formation of such plan will belt work of. no Small labour, and will of course be thwarted and opposed by the little trumpery Parliaments who live and fast, and job under the existing; 4hu,ses. But a few practical men, with the knowledge they •poliesti, 'aided as they will he by deserters from the enemy's camp, till soon clear away the rubbish that will at first impede them; and lay 'the imindation of an edifice - , alike creditable to the architects them selvds,- SW useful to those - to IVIUMI, its occupancy will belong. Though, generally speaking, u. man has no right to .co plain of the result of a bargain made with his eyes open, yet it is equallrtrao that people's eyes are not always open when they think they are; and figticienc6 also sometimes whispers to those who have gained an inordinate and nulooked-for advantage by a 'contract, not to {bract the pnawl of flesh, though the strict letter of their bond may give it them. This, we think, is in some measure the state of the case with Mr. [Olsten awl the Drury. lane Committee. Booty one actinainted with drawbacks and iittetuatiOns incident to theatrical property, must' hay trembled for poor Maori when he became the lessee of the theatre. The coot bus proved that their fears were but too well founded. But it it reasonable, we would ask, that tin • l)tury-late owners should now icy , hands upon the whole property of axe lessee embarked in the concern, merely hecaute lie Was improvident enough to sign a lease containing so preposterous a condition ? No (me, it is true, can deny their rights; hot rights are wrongs in some rakes; anti we think that both Ir. Ellistou and his credit,. ► wadi have but tog much reason to complain, should such tights aa,a4.101 upon this occasion with top rigid a tenacity,--Ibict. (THE REPRESiNTAiIVE.] The Memlwo. who are to comp6se the 'new Ptah . merit may lat'uow pretty Actor-ably calculated ; and in spite of some assertions we have lieessai or reed to the contrary, it is evident that the Cause of Cetholitity his eetioutly lost by this election; so much so as to render it very improbable that the Douse of Lords during tot continuanee Of the Parliamega, be troubled by a Bill from from the Commons o the aubject. That, to people who view the Boman Catholie Qntstion as we do, this (*cum stance should give much` plea,mre, it is needless to say. A no kits linequivocal proof of the dislike which the English public eeh o r t a in of this questien is displayed even In places where, from other canoes, gentlemen favourable to it are returned, in the speeches, which these successful candidate* find it. peeessary to make. Nowhere has any gentlemen ventured to allude to his vote in favour of the measure; but with Am apology. Mr. Plunlcett tells his collegiate electors that he is sorry to differ with them ; but assures them that he has the hula. rests of the Mirth of Ireland fully as much at heart as they, Mr. thaskitsson laments the misfortune which makes him diffid f rom so ma ny of hie constituents at Liverpool. In Surrey, Mr, Denison tells his friends, Win, believed in the peculiar doctrine,. o f the church of Boole he would he deserving of a etli of a bed 41'0, and that in his opinion granting Catholic Emancipation would hi fact strengthen the Church a England. Lord Mil; too , i n Y or k s hi re , por gyriees the Revolution of HEW, and 14 'very angry that any nne should claim to he more Pro ne:tent than he. At' Ipswich Colonel Tonne saye some thing rather unintelligible to the same point. In London , the e loquent voice of Waithmain• fOrmerly so admirable on this, Juil 00 most other questions, iy quite mute with respect to the woes of Ireland ; and Alderman Wood's friends, in . 44 ling unlike Livery to vote for' him, most cautiously avoid any reference whatever to Ilia opinions with respect to emancipation._ ; 14 66°1 assns Due MU. Wog anxious to apologize and explain, and we have no doubt that many secretly curse, the liberality which induced them to vote with so little regard for the wishes of their constituents. There is one consideration urged in favour of the measure, which appears to us to be the only one on which it is tenable — namely, that it may be advantageous to the Church of England. This is urged by - men of such talent that . it would lie merely im pertinent to•say that it is absurd,- but it strikes us that it would be very hard to prove it. Beyond question, Dr. Doyle, or the late Dr. Milner, or Mr. O'Connell, or any of these gentry, would not 'advocate it if they thought ero. If it were proved, then let Catholic Emancipation be passed without delaybut for no other reason. As to its tranquillizing Ireland, that is absurd indeed. As long as Ireland is inhabited by a redundant -and wretched peasantry, completely Under the guidance of an intole rant priesthood, (who certainly, whatever may happen with the gentry, will never cease to hate and oppose ,the Established Chureh,) so long all hopes of its being tranquillized by any measures but those of coercion may he given up. And as long as it continues disturbed, so long the collateral benefits. of the ►ntroduction of English capital, &e. &c, which the advocates of Emancipation dwell upon, will not take place. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, .luNt 20. •• WATSON V. CLIZIIENT. • • The plaintiff in this case is a linendraper, residing in the Strand, adjoining to the offices of the defendant, who is proprietor of the Morniny Chronicle. The action was brought to recover com pensation Tor the injury and annoyance which the plaintiff and'his family su&red, in consequence of the noise and motion created by the working, of u steam-engine erected by the defendant for the purpose of printing his newspapers. Mr. GURNEY stated the CLIS.e. lie said, that notwithstanding the niiisance had been already proved on a former trial, which it was necessary for the plaintiff to appeal to, and on that - occasion verdict was returned for Mr. Watson, no steps had been taken by the defendant to remedy nuisance complained of; and when the plaintiff, after having waited patiently five months, remonstrated with the defendant, and requested of him to abate the evil com plained of, the defendant aggravated the injury by, insult, and wrote to his client to say, that he believed Mr. Watson wished to make a job of the•businesC , The defendant stated that he was about to make such, alterations as would abate the nuisance, by removing the Machinery to another part of his premises, and by erecting a well between the engine and the party wall, by which a apace would be left, which he would fill up with sawdust, or some. ether substance, to prevent the noise from annoying the pleintiff. All this, it was said. would be done in the course of a fortnight. The premise, however, remaioed unfulfilled, and con , eequently Mr. Watson was under the necessity of bringing the present action to procure redress; and he (Mr. Gurney) hoped the Jury would by their verdict give such damages as in future to prevent his client from 'uttering the same annoyance. Belpre the plaintiff's witnesses were celled, the Attorney-General, who with Mr. Searlett aml Mr. Denman conducted the defendan.'s calm, stated that as touch as could be done toward* the abatement of the nuisance .had been dyne, and us' that was not thought suf ficient, he was willing to submit to an arbitrator, to decide what further measures were necessary fur the abatement of the grievance. The Loup CHIEF Justicu asked whether the defouliTut would undertake to remove the machinery entirely, if the arbitrator should be of opinion that no remedy could be devised for the abatement of the nuisance. The Arco sNrY-GtitaaA said he did not think he could, in ust►ce to his client, make any other offer. If it ehould turn out that no (lather amendments could be made, his client would of course be compelled to remove his establishment. A few mintites were spent in attempting to bring about anac commodation, but to no purpose. Mr. Henry Burford .was .then 'called and examined. The wit nest occupies the house adjoining the office of the Morning ,Chro• tide, on the east side. On the 7th November last, and ever since the witness was in Mr. Watson's house, he heard the noise mule by the working of the machine on the defendant's premises, which he thought was rather increased since the' former trial. There way also a, tremulous motion occasioned by'the strokes of the machine. There is a nine-inch wall between the respective pre mises, notwithstanding which,. the sound and motion occasioned by the working of the machine disturbed the witness and his family, and prevented thim front enjoying their necessary rest. On his cross-examination by the Comstost SxxcEAST, the wit ness stated that his observation of the increased inconvenience to Mr. Watson's prernihes applied to the back part of his house, Elizabeth Miller, ft relation of the plaintiff, said she was in the habit of stopping at the plaintiff's; sometimes as often es two utglits in the week, and that she found it impossible forest, in Cfmipquene:e of the noise and motion ermited by the working of the steam engine and machine on the adjoining premises. ; Several other 'witnesses were called, the principal part of whom had been examined on the former trial,' all of whom agreed in representing the noise and motion of the engine as an annoyance to the defendant. Some of the witnesses thought the noise had increased. • - • - The Arroastsx-Gxianard -addressed the Jury, admitting the nuisance, and submitting to their consideration the amount of damages to which his client under all the circumstances should be liable. After a short charge from the Loan Cm r JUSTIeri The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1001. HUGH COURT, OF ADMIRALTY, JUNE O. THE AVM), OA %UNA, NAASTER. 'This was an application feir the tidlitission 'Of an allegation, iii which the question of a joint capture 'of a slave ship, where only one vessel was engaged, was raised for the first time. Dr. Luatitsamx, who . appeared against the admisaibility of the allegation, stated, that the Aviso was captured on the coast of Sierti Leone, in 1824, under Brazilian colours, buying on board 400 slaveS, by his Majesty's ship the Mafdstone, under thecorn maud of Commodore Bullen ; the Bann, commanded lir Captain Courtney, being at the time in sight. The Bann received in structions from the Commodore in Aug, 18'24, to eruize along from Cape Coast Roads to Cameroon, in search of slave ships. (hi .tire 2,oth of September, the two vessels accidentally met, being both en gaged in the LIMP service, and the Bann descried 4 'Suspicious sail, and gave notice thereof to the Maidstone. The latter ship made sail and captured her, when it was discovered to be the Aviso, having on board 400 slaves. The slave ship.waS takento Sierra Leone. The Captain of the Bann offered to assist in conveying the slaves after the capture, hut such services were not required, and he (Dr. Lushington) was at a loss to conceive hoW any claim for the bounty could be made by Captain' Courtney.' In time of war he would have been entitled to his share of prize money in the capture of an enemy's ship, had he been in the pursuit of such ship ; but it, was very different : no actual assistance Was ren dered by the Bann, and the presence of that vessel could not produce anything like intimidation. Dn. daustza, on behalf of Captain Ontrtney, contended that 11;3 chant was entitled to a share of the proceeds of the capture, and referred lo tlro Ist and s . ed of Geo. IV., wherein the principle embodied in a Proclamation, imned in October, 1816, relative to seizures effected under the revenue hien, was acknowledged, and made applicable to captures made of slave ships. Dr. PHILLIMORM followed on the same side. Lord STOWELL said he would colilider of the case, and give his opinion on it the next Court day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOVSE.—Yeaterday a watchman, named ticking- Om, was brought before the Lord ilayor, on the charge of having caused the death of an Irishman, named Kelly. John Ryder, one of the patrol fur Houndsditch, stated, that be tween twelve and one o'clock on Monday morning, he beard of a disturbance near Red Lion T conrt, end went there. He sew the I),rigoller bringing along with him a man, who made a strong re sifitanee. Witness laid hold of him to bring him along. Ile struck at the prLioner, who returned the attempts by striking the num violently over the shins with a stick. They succeeded at length in getting the man to the watch-house. Witness saw no More than attempts to Alike the prisoner ; witness held the man at the time thee, prisoner beat hint with the stick. Joseph Taylor, the night emistable of that district, deplored, that when the man was brought in there was a croo-charge between him and the prisoner. The man, who was undoubtedly intoxi cated, cluirgo the prisoner with having assaulted him. The prisoner did the sauna with respect to the man. The men's wife tame end begged that her husband might be permitted to go home, for site was siire he had received some severe internal injury, and was very ill.

On Mondey night • the man died. , 014E4 * ofTtcer btktad that the prisoner not only struck at the 4ee '" , " v/hoh he watt' held hy the first witness, but struck at him when he Wa3 f!OVVII. The account which the prilauev gav e of the' matter wee, that trn NionditY night he w4s called upon to yrei! a diitlabttnee whit'h had taken !daze in Red Lion -court.

The LORD MAYOR Said, the evidence at present showed that the prisoner had behavid with great wantonness, not only in striking the deceased when Ile was down, hut in beating him while he was secured by another. officer. An . t afi cer here stated that a Jury had been summoned before the Coroner, to inquire into the ease. The Loan MAYOR said, upon this information he should not enter further into the investigation, hut would remand the pri soner until the verdict of the Coroner's Jury was given. The prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL,---John Neat, a hackney-coachman, was charged before Mr. Alderman SCDOLEY with attempting to com mit a burglary an the premises of Mr. Moon, the tobacconist at the corner of Staple-inn gateway, in Holborn, about 2 o'clock on Sunday morning. It appeared that Carnage, a.watehman, having observed the prisoner, with a companion, trying to force open the shop-door with some i»strttment, crossed the street to be ready to pounce upon them when they had effected their purpose. The thieves noticed this movement, and crossed over to the other side of Holborn, where they remained in conversation some time, until the watchman approached them, and seized the prisoner, the other fellow making a hasty retreat. At the watch-house the constable of the night searched the prisoner slightly, and, finding nothing to strengthen the watchman's charge, was just about to dismiss him with au admonition, when Evans, another watch man, who was dozing upon the door during his hour off duty, got up and renewed the search. A large crow-bar was then dill , covered between his legs, and two skeleton keys in a side-pocket. Upon examining Mr. Moon's premises, it appeared that the lock had been spoiled in endeavouring to open the door with the skele ton keys, and that a part of the jamb had been chipped off in order to wrench away the fastenings. The Magistrate's legal adviser suggested the commitment of the prisoner as a rogue and vagabond, for having housebreaking I implement* in his possession ; but Mr. Ald erman S CHOLEY thought the evidence made out a greater offence, and committed hint to the Sessions 14 the misdemeanour of attempting to break into a house. BOW-STREET.—On Monday afternoon, as the sitting Ma gistrate, Mr. HAMS, was about to leave the Bench, a smartly-. dressed youth was brought in by two of the keepers of Kensing ton-gardens, charged with an outrage of a very daring and atro cious description. He stated his name to be John Wood, hut it was said by some one who knew him that his real name was Thompson. The person upon whom the outrage was committed was Mr. Conrad . Meyer, a Swiss gentleman, living in Essex street, Strand, who was brought to the office door in a coach, in an almost insensible State, with three deep wounds in his head, which were still bleeding, and his shirt and the rest of his apparel saturated with blood. ,He was lifted into the office, and, being placed in a chair, he with difficulty stated shortly, that about one o'clock on that day( he was sitting on one of the benches in Ken iiington-gardens, somewhat drowsy, when, without seeing or hearing any one approach him, lie was suddenly assailed with two tremendous blows on the head, which, at the moment, he felt had cut him deeply. He jumped up and screamed " Murder !" and was running away, when he received another blow, which brought him to the ground and deprived him of his senses. He saw no one, for he was too much terrified to look behind, and when his senses returned he found himself in the care of the keepers at their lodge. He hail no knowledge of the prisoner. He lost no thing from his pockets. Two young men, named Stewart and Rogaiid, cork-cutters, living near the Regent's Park, deposed that they were walking near the lake in the Gardena,, when they heard the cry of "mur der" and saw the prosecutor running, and in a moment after he fell to the ground; at the same time they saw the prisoner walking away from the spot where be fell. One of the witnesses went to the assistance of Mr. Meyer, while the other ran towards the prisoner, who, as soon us he saw himself pursued, continence(' running, but was soon overtaken. When, asked what he had done, he said " Nothing," and begged very hard to be let go ; hut when he found that this request was not likely to he complied with, he said " I have done something wrong, but it was want that in duced me to do it, and I hope I shall be forgiven, for it was my first crime." The prosecutor was conveyed' in an insensible state to the keeper's lodge, and when the prisoner was taken there and saw him, he fell upon his knees, cried, and begged for pardon.— Quo of the keepers observed that it was a pretty time to beg par don, after he hail killed a man ; a remark which the prisoner heard in silence, and seemed to watch the recovery of the prose cutor with great armiesy, one of the keepers aaretal the pri. tionet, mod found on hires 'only a. tome), of keys, nail a wornalea veil of very comas materials. When further questioned by the spectators, ,he admitted that he took part in the attack, and said there was another person contented.. When asked by Mr. Halls, if he had any defence to snake, he said in a tremulous tone, that be had been for some time out of employment, and was wander ' ing Hyde Park in great distrese on Saturday last, when he unfor tunately met with it young man whose name he had since mulct stood to be Dick Harris, with whom he got i! to conversation, and from Harris's acconnthe also was much distressed. Harris persuaded him (the prisoner) to accompany him to a public-house in Clare-market, and there proposed to him to make an attempt at picking pockets. They went to Covent-garden Piazzas, and made sonic attempts, but were unsuccessful. The next day Har ris proposed to go to Kensington-gardens "for a certain purpose,'.' and be laid the plan, and instructed him how to act. It was Harris who struck the prosecutor, but be (the prisoner) was cer tainly to assist afterwards. Hanle escaped among the trees. Mr. Hams asked the keepers if a man could have escaped on that spot in the middle of the day, without being observed ? anti was answered that he could very easily, the grass being sufficiently long to conceal a man if he threw himself down. The prisoner was ordered to be remanded, and directions given to the officers to endeavour to find the Dick Harris spoken of, who is well known. • When he wars taken to the lock-up room, ,Ford, the gaoler, searched him narrowly, and found within his trousers a phos phorus box, matcher, some duplicates, and a smell chisel. Tfie proSeentor *was conveyed home, and a surgeon, who at tended him, reported yesterday that he had three very severe wounds in the head, but that they were not dangerous. Yesterday morning Ford searched in Remington..gardens, and found in the long grass a heavy bludgeon stained with blood. The prisoner will be Nought up again on Thursday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET..--Mr. Symons, surgeon, re siding in Earl's-court, Old Brompton, was summoned to answer a charge of fraud, which .:was preferred by Mr. W. Johnston, a jeweller, residing in Caroline -street, Bedford-square. It appeared that the late. Mr. Baldwin, who was Consul-General in Upper Egypt, was possessed of some valuable gems, rings, Egyptian marblim, and other antiques, two cases of which he left with Mr. Johnston, to dispose of to the best advantage; he was at the time indebted to Mr. Johnston in a large.sum of money. Shortly after Mr. Bsldwin's death', Mr. Symons called upon Mr. Johnston and said it was the intention of the executors to cull upon him to give up the propCrty, and he at the same time offered to take charge of it. Mr. J., being well acquainted with Mr. Symons, said he had no objection to place a portion of the pumerty in his hands. A' few days afterwards. Mr. Symons sent to inform Mr. Johnston, that he had spoken to the Dukeof Sussex revelling the gems, and he hail expressed a wish to see them; •he had therstOrs promised the Duke that he should see them the next day. BelieVing such to he the ease, Mr. Johnston said he sent nine rings to Mr. eons, which were set with antique gems, sod were of great value. On the day that Mr. Symons appointed to see the Duke, be sent his sisters to inform Mr. Johnston that he should not be able to obtain an interview' with the Duke until Sunday morning. This was about a month ago, and he had since repeatedly applied to Mr. Symons for the rings, but without effect, xs he refustid to give them up, and said he had been desired by Mr. Robson, the executor of Mr.,Bahlwhi, to keep them in his possessiou. Mr. J. said that he, in consequence, applied to the Doke of Sussex upon the subject, who informed him that he hail never given any di- maims :respecting the gems, and was never applied to by Mr. Spume upon the subject. Mr. Robson, the executor, said Mr. Johnston had part of his property in his .possenion, which was to be handed over to him; but he had not applied for : it, as he had been engaged in collect ing money from Govermnent, from the East India Company,, and other places.
